Hello Kalle Anka,
I can assure you that installing on the supported Solaris 10 environment
is much easier. ;-)
You are pioneering so don't expect a smooth installation.
However people are willing to help you to get things worked out.
Have a look at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19634-01/819-2389/new_nw_config.html
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0204/817-5490.pdf
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E22662_01/PDF/EN/SRS5.2-AG-E22661-01.pdf
(look for DHCP/networking)
The networking part has not changed much over the years.
It is also very interesting to snoop the network traffic of the Sun Ray
with wireshark.
It will tell you exactly how the Sun Ray is requesting the needed
information and what the the answers from the network are.

Ok, I installed the motif packages. How am I supposed to know that? Sure, the
wiki install instructions on v5.1 say so - but I am not using v5.1. And there is
no mention of "utsetup" in v5.1 install instructions. I am using "utsetup", just
as recommended in v5.2 manual. The problem is, I don't know which of the v5.1
install instructions does apply, and which of them do not apply. I would like
the install instructions updated to v5.2. Is it a no-no to use "utsetup"? Is
there any short comings in "ipadm" and that command is inferior, instead I
should dabble with all the config files? etc? How do I know? Where is the
install instructions for v5.2? When (if) I get this working, I will post install
instructions so newbies can benefit from them.
Now everything works, but it works bad. When I boot the Solaris PC, I can login
on the SunRay2 DTU. But it looks ugly. It is an old Motif login window. It says
"Sun Ray Mobile Session Login" and I have three choices: "Ok", "Start Over",
"Options"->"Quick Login/Exit", "Help". It also behaves strange. I enter my user
name, and then the "44B" error picture is shown briefly before I can type in my
password. And when I logout, I see the "44B" picture again briefly before facing
the login Motif Window. Something is not really working.
And, the keyboard is not set. It is always "English" keyboard, no matter what I
choose on the keyboard icon on panel, top right. The default language is not
chosen.
So, something is not correct. Could it be that I use "ipadm" to get static IP?
Is it better to "sys-unconfig" to get static IP? Or, should I use the static IP
instructions for v5.1 on the wiki? Do they apply? The description on the wiki is
very vague and high level. "modify this and that". I would like to know the
expected output so that I know I am on the right track. Something like
1. Fix this bla bla
Expected output: When you do "getent hosts <hostname>" you should see your
computer's IP adress.
2. Fix that bla bla
Expected output: When you do "ipadm show-addr" you should see...
etc
Then I know if I am doing it right and there will be less problems.
I see that Ivar wrote:
"It looks like the Sun Ray is getting its IP form 192.169.1.1 which is not the
Sun Ray server. You have a few option:
1. Configure DHCP on the Sun Ray server to provide the DHCP information to the
Sun Rays without giving out IP addresses. The DHCP informserver in utquery
should then point to 192.168.1.3 i think.
2. Add the correct DHCP information to your DHCP server on 192.168.1.1
3. You can name your Sun Ray server "sunray-servers" within your DNS domain. If
you provide this domain name with your DHCP to the Sun ray it will search for
sunray-servers.domain.xxx and find it.
4. There is also a broadcast option to find the server if they are on the same
subnet I belief.
Ivar"
So what would be the easiest to do, and how do I do that? What syntax?
